Madam Speaker, when Stephen Harper inherited governance, he also inherited a multi-billion-dollar surplus. He converted that into a multi-billion-dollar deficit, and that was prior to the recession.

This government has nothing to learn or any advice to take from the Conservatives in dealing with how to manage a budget.
